How a gift reaches your church's bank account.
A transparent look at every step from the donor's card to your deposit — who processes it, what it costs, and when it lands.
The donor gives
A member opens your giving link, scans your QR code, or sends a text-to-give keyword. They choose an amount and fund, then pay by card, ACH, Apple Pay, or Google Pay. No account or app required.
Stripe processes the payment securely
Stripe, the payment provider behind TithePay, verifies and charges the payment method inside a PCI DSS Level 1 certified platform. Card details never touch TithePay or your church's systems.
Fees are itemized and deducted
Before the deposit lands, one transparent cost comes out: Stripe's standard processing (2.9% + $0.30 per card gift). TithePay takes no percentage of the gift — the platform is covered by a flat $69 monthly price. Donors can also choose to cover the processing fees so your church keeps the full gift.
The payout reaches your bank
Stripe transfers the remaining balance straight to your church's own bank account on the schedule you chose in onboarding — daily, weekly, or monthly. TithePay never holds or touches your money.
What a $100 gift actually costs
No mystery, no hidden cuts. Here is exactly how a card gift divides, itemized the same way in your dashboard.

Security, at every step
Card data never touches us
Payment details are captured, encrypted, and processed entirely by Stripe — TithePay never stores card numbers.
Funds go only to your account
Your church connects its own bank account through Stripe during setup. Deposits arrive there directly, in your name.
Bank-grade infrastructure
Every gift is processed inside Stripe's PCI DSS Level 1 certified platform, the same standard used by the largest payment companies.
Fraud protection built in
Stripe screens every transaction for fraud automatically, and disputed gifts are handled through Stripe's documented dispute process.
When the money arrives
Three clocks run, and your dashboard's Payouts tab tracks each one.
Processing: same moment
The donor's gift is charged and confirmed instantly at checkout, and both of you see the confirmation right away.
Payout-ready: 1–2 business days
Card gifts typically become available for payout within a day or two; ACH gifts can take a few business days to clear. This is standard Stripe timing, not a TithePay hold.
Deposit: your schedule
You choose daily, weekly, or monthly payouts. Your first payout may take a few extra business days while Stripe finishes verifying your account.
